June 15, 2022
The new team members will join the organization’s hunger-relief efforts across the state
Harvest Hope Food Bank welcomed six interns in their summer 2022 cohort. Brittany Myers and Jaylin Madison will be joining the Advocacy and Marketing team, while Brandon Brown, John Alao, Rochelle Jadotte, and Trinita Geathers and will be joining the Information Technology team. All will be working throughout Harvest Hope’s 20-county service to help build a hunger-free tomorrow across the state.
Harvest Hope is glad to be partnering with HBCUs this summer to maximize our internship opportunities to students who typically would not have access to these hands-on paid learning experiences. As we promote diversity and inclusion, we believe these collaborations will advance this effort furthering our already intentional approach to diverse representation.
